[mplspm]: Why can't I get flock($fh,LOCK_EX) to work?

[Dave Worden]

Mark,

You're correct. Overkill and not the way I would do it do it today. The mode
thing got me when I originally was working with flock()ish stuff too ---

Ohh, duhh!  If you're going to establish an exclusive (i.e., write) lock,
it works a *lot* better if you open the desired file in WRITE mode!

Sheesh...  Thanks anyway.

(Dave, thanks for your note -- seems, though, that including the
$flock_struct
is kinda overkill, unless your program used those flags somewhere else.)

Can't make it Thursday night -- bell choir practice.  Maybe next time,
tho'...
